Dear Dearborn STEM Academy Families

In order to provide students and families with more clothing and size options, as well as year round uniform services, Dearborn will no longer sell uniforms out of the school. We are excited to announce that uniforms will be available for purchase at L&M Bargain Stores starting July 15, 2017. Prices and contact information for the store can be found on the attached sheet. Parents should review the dress code policy below.

Dress Code: In order for Dearborn to create and maintain an environment that is safe, orderly and free from distractions, all students are required to wear the full school uniform every day. The uniform consists of three pieces of clothing:

Middle School Students: navy blue long or short-sleeve polo shirt, khaki-colored cotton twill/dress pants with no side/cargo pockets and sneakers/closed-toed shoes; low or high top footwear are both permitted. Navy crew neck sweaters and zip up hooded sweatshirts with Dearborn logos are permitted. Students are not allowed to wear hoods or hats once in the building.

High School Students: purple or black long or short-sleeve polo shirt, khaki-colored or black cotton twill/dress pants with no side/cargo pockets or black jeans and sneakers/closed-toed shoes; low or high top footwear are both permitted. Navy crew neck sweaters and zip up hooded sweatshirts with Dearborn logos are permitted. Students are not allowed to wear hoods or hats once in the building.

The gym uniform is navy blue for ALL grades. Tee shirt or sweatshirts are allowed along with shorts or sweatpants. All black sneakers are required for gym.

In order to be fully prepared to meet uniform requirements, we suggest that students start off the school year with at least all of the following items:

1 uniform sweatshirt

1 uniform polo shirt

1 uniform tee shirt

1 pair of uniform sweatpants

1 pair of khaki pants (and/or black pants for high school students)

If you have any questions or concerns regarding uniforms over the summer, please feel free to contact Estefania Alves at 617-306-8853.
